Loewi, Otto (1873–1961)

German physiologist who was awarded a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1936 for his work on the chemical transmission of nerve impulses. He established that a chemical substance is responsible for the stimulation of one nerve cell (neuron) by another.

The substance was shown by the physiologist Henry Dale to be acetylcholine, now known to be one of the most vital neurotransmitters. For this work Loewi and Dale were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize.
